Crochet Ice Cream Cone Plush

 

Skill Level

• Beginner to easy intermediate
• Suitable for crocheters familiar with single crochet, increases, decreases, and working in continuous rounds

• Plush or chenille yarn in pink and light brown
• 4.0 mm crochet hook
• 10 mm safety eyes

• Stitch marker
• Needle and scissors
• Black thread for smile embroidery

Abbreviations

• sc = single crochet
• inc = increase
• dec = decrease
• mc = magic circle
• sl st = slip stitch
• ch = chain
• FLO = front loops only
• BLO = back loops only

Helpful Notes Before Starting

• Use a stitch marker to track the beginning of each round since the pattern is worked continuously
• Plush yarn can hide stitches easily, so count carefully after every row
• Keep tension consistent to avoid gaps around the stuffing
• Invisible decreases help create smoother shaping, especially with chenille yarn
• The ruffle section is worked into the front loops while the following round continues in the back loops from the earlier row
• Stuff gradually instead of waiting until the very end because the opening becomes much smaller during the decrease rounds

Construction Overview

• The cone section begins with gradual increases to create a tapered base
• The pink scoop section expands wider than the cone to create the rounded ice cream shape
• A decorative ruffle is added using the front loops to separate the scoop visually from the cone
• The head and cone are crocheted as one continuous piece, so no extra sewing is required
• Facial features are added before the final closing rounds to make placement easier

Stitch And Shaping Clarity

• Each increase round expands the cone evenly while keeping the shape symmetrical
• The repeated increase placement creates a smooth widening effect instead of sharp corners
• The front loop ruffle creates dimension without adding extra separate pieces
• Working the next row into the back loops preserves the decorative edge while maintaining structure
• The decrease rounds slowly pull the scoop inward to create a rounded dome shape
• Firm stuffing helps the plush maintain a balanced ice cream scoop appearance instead of collapsing inward

Step By Step Pattern Instructions

Cone Section Using Light Brown Yarn

• Row 1: Make a magic circle and crochet 6 single crochet
• Row 2: Work 2 single crochet then 1 increase, repeat twice for 8 stitches
• Row 3: Work 3 single crochet then 1 increase, repeat twice for 10 stitches
• Row 4: Work 4 single crochet then 1 increase, repeat twice for 12 stitches
• Row 5: Work 5 single crochet then 1 increase, repeat twice for 14 stitches
• Row 6: Work 6 single crochet then 1 increase, repeat twice for 16 stitches
• Row 7: Work 7 single crochet then 1 increase, repeat twice for 18 stitches
• Row 8: Work 8 single crochet then 1 increase, repeat twice for 20 stitches
• Row 9: Work 9 single crochet then 1 increase, repeat twice for 22 stitches
• On the final stitch of Row 9, change to pink yarn

Cone Shaping Notes

• The cone widens slowly to maintain the classic ice cream cone silhouette
• Changing yarn on the last stitch creates a cleaner color transition between the cone and scoop
• Keep the cone lightly stuffed only if you prefer a firmer base later

Ice Cream Scoop Using Pink Yarn

• Row 10: Crochet 24 single crochet around
• Row 11: Work in front loops only to create the ruffle edge by chaining 4, forming a cluster across the next front loops, then slip stitching into the next loop, repeating for 8 ruffles
• Row 12: Work 24 single crochet in the back loops only from Row 10
• Row 13: Work 3 single crochet then 1 increase, repeat 6 times for 30 stitches
• Row 14: Work 4 single crochet then 1 increase, repeat 6 times for 36 stitches
• Rows 15 to 17: Crochet 36 single crochet around each row
• Insert safety eyes between the 5th and 6th pink rows, spacing them about 5 stitches apart

Ruffle And Scoop Notes

• The ruffle edge gives the scoop a melting ice cream appearance
• Working into the front loops only separates the decorative edge from the main body
• Returning to the back loops keeps the scoop stable and prevents distortion
• The increase rounds after the ruffle help the top section become fuller and rounder
• Even stitch placement keeps the scoop symmetrical

Eye And Facial Feature Placement

• Place the safety eyes evenly before stuffing becomes too firm
• Measure equal spacing from the center to avoid uneven facial positioning
• Slightly lower eye placement creates a softer and cuter expression
• Embroider the smile after closing so the face can be adjusted more accurately

Closing And Finishing

• Row 18: Work 4 single crochet then 1 decrease, repeat 6 times for 30 stitches
• Row 19: Work 3 single crochet then 1 decrease, repeat 6 times for 24 stitches
• Begin stuffing the plush firmly with fiberfill
• Row 20: Work 2 single crochet then 1 decrease, repeat 6 times for 18 stitches
• Row 21: Work 1 single crochet then 1 decrease, repeat 6 times for 12 stitches
• Row 22: Work 6 decreases to close
• Cut yarn, weave through remaining stitches to seal, and embroider a small smile using black thread

Stuffing Tips

• Add stuffing in small portions to avoid lumps
• Push stuffing gently into the cone tip using the back of the hook or a stuffing tool
• Keep the scoop firmly stuffed so it holds its rounded shape
• Avoid overstuffing near the closing rounds because stitches may stretch and expose filling

Assembly Guidance

• Since the plush is crocheted in one piece, there is no sewing required between sections
• Shape the scoop with your hands after stuffing to smooth uneven areas
• Check that the cone remains centered beneath the scoop before fully closing

Beginner Notes

• Plush yarn can make stitch counting harder, so count slowly after each round
• Use stitch markers frequently if rows become difficult to identify
• Invisible decreases create a cleaner finish than standard decreases
• If the ruffle feels confusing, complete one repeat slowly before continuing around the row

Troubleshooting

• If the cone twists, check stitch counts after each row
• If gaps appear near decreases, reduce tension slightly during decrease stitches
• If the scoop looks uneven, redistribute stuffing before closing
• If the eyes appear crooked, reposition them before attaching the backs securely
• If the ruffle curls too tightly, loosen chain tension slightly

Customization Ideas

• Add embroidered sprinkles using colorful yarn scraps
• Use pastel yarn shades for different ice cream flavors
• Attach a keychain loop for a small bag charm version
• Add blush embroidery beneath the eyes for extra expression
• Create multiple scoops in different colors for a themed collection
